Casey opened the door to the apartment.
"Hey Jess! I got the t-shirt you wanted!"Casey said opening the door.Then he gasped.The whole apartment was in pieces!

The windows were broken.The curtains were ripped.The food in the fridge in cans were smashed and broken.He noticed a glass pieces on the floor and it looked like water dripping from the counter.

Casey had a very frighten face."Oh shit...".
Meanwhile outside of the apartment,April was carrying her bag of grocieries and walked into the building.April knew Casey was home already,so she just knocked on the door.

"Case? I need to come in"April said.

"April.."Casey said opening the door.She saw the look on his face.

"Whats wrong?"She asked fast and entered quickly.She dropped the bags as she saw the house."Oh nooooooooo!".

She turned and looked at Casey."W-W-wheres Jessie!?".

"I don't know.."Casey said almost in tears."Call the police....".
April dialed on the phone 911.She knew that there had to be a search party.

The police answered."Hello?".

"Yes umm.."April said."This is April O'Niel...it seems like my neice is missing again".

"What happened?"The policewoman asked.

"My apartment is all trashed up.I think someone kidnapped her"April explained looking around the house.

"We'll go all around Miss O'Niel".

"Thank you,very much"April said hanging up the phone.She went to help Casey clean up the mess.

The turtles walked around Professor Perry's lab.
"Find clues guys.."Donatello said looking around.

"Oooh..."Mikey said looking around as the three did the same."I miss Jessica..".

"Don't we all"Leonardo said looking around the cieling."Find anything yet?".

"Not yet..."Donatello said looking at him.

"Look!"Mikey said picking up a piece of glass from a ooze tub.

"What the hell is it?"Raph said walking up to Mikey.

Leonardo picked up another peice."Mikey,give that piece".

Mikey handed Leo the glass.Leonardo put the glass together.It spelled"TGRI"all together.

"Huuuuuhhh?"All four of the turtles said together.

"Isn't this..."Raph said.

"Yeah it is...."Donatello said."The ooze that we were grown with".

"How could this be.."Leo asked with a shock.

"Is this a clue?"Mikey asked.

"Yeah Mikey...Maybe the Shredder's using the ooze"Donatello predicted.

"Thats right Don..and we need to find him!"Leo said.

"Wait a second,lets collect this and give it back to Splinter"Donatello said gathering it up.

"Hurry!"Raph said helping getting it all."Jessie probaly can't hold much longer!".
~~**~*~*~~*~*~**~*~
The Shredder stood at his throne as the foot dragged Jessie in.Jessica ketp on arguing to let her go.

"Grrrr!!"Jessica said trying to get away from their grip."Let me go idiot faggots!!".

"Hmmm...."Shredder smiled."Miss O'Niel...".

"Thats Jessica Allison O'Niel to you bastard!!!"Jessica shouted.

"Jessica.."Shredder said with a evil laugh."Just the person i wanted to see".

"Who are you and what do want from me!?"Jessica asked with a angry tone.

"Shredder is back.."He said in a low tone.

"Oh kiss my ass"Jessica said puncing the ninja with her elbow and he fell on the floor.

"Oooh...tough gal..."Shredder said.

"Your the ones who attacked me!"Jessie said as one of the ninja's held her.

"Good guess..".

"What do you want from me?"Jessica asked.

"Your just an object Jessica..The turtles will be gone by the time they mess with my..."Shredder explained."Muuuutttaaaaants!".

Jessica gulped."Wheres the turtles when you need em'?...".
~~*~*~~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Splinter looked at the turtles."Show it to me".

Leonardo gave Splinter the pieces of the tube.Splinter put them together.Just like at the lab,it said"TGRI".

"This...is like the ooze tube you all walked in"Splinter said surprised."Did you find any clues on Jessie?".

Donatello,Raph and Leo shook their heads and looked at Mike.

"Well um..."Mikey said walking up.He held out a charm bracelet."I remember Jess telling April her bracelet broke".

"Well thats a start.."Splinter said nodding.Splinter noticed the looks on their faces."What is it my sons?".

"I'm worried about Jessie"Donnie said looking up.

"So am I..."Raph said looking down."Who knows what they could do to her".

Splinter sighed."You must go and find her".

The four turtles got up and went out again for the search of the Shredder.
~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~~*~~*~*~*~~

Meanwhile at Jessie's home at the apartment,April and Casey were giving information.

"I have no idea how this could happen"April said to a police cop."Shes almost 18".

"We have had these problems before April.She can't be any where far"Police man said.

"Thank you"April said walking to Casey.

"You don't think shes dead do you?"April asked.

"Naw...she should be fine.You know her,she loves to go out"Casey replied shaking his head.

"You never know"April said looking down.
